# arrow 7.0.0.9000
-* `read_csv_arrow()`'s readr-style type `T` is now mapped to `timestamp(unit =
"ns")` instead of `timestamp(unit = "s")`.
-* `lubridate`:
- * component extraction functions: `tz()` (timezone), `semester()`
(semester), `dst()` (daylight savings time indicator), `date()` (extract date),
`epiyear()` (epiyear), improvements to `month()`, which now works with integer
inputs.
- * Added `make_date()` & `make_datetime()` + `ISOdatetime()` & `ISOdate()` to
create date-times from numeric representations.
- * Added `decimal_date()` and `date_decimal()`
- * Added `make_difftime()` (duration constructor)
- * Added duration helper functions: `dyears()`, `dmonths()`, `dweeks()`,
`ddays()`, `dhours()`, `dminutes()`, `dseconds()`, `dmilliseconds()`,
`dmicroseconds()`, `dnanoseconds()`.
-* date-time functionality:
- * Added `as_date()` and `as_datetime()`
- * Added `difftime` and `as.difftime()`
- * Added `as.Date()` to convert to date
+## Enhancements to dplyr and datasets
+
+* `open_dataset()`:
+ - now correctly supports the `skip` argument for skipping header rows in CSV
datasets.
+ - now can take a list of datasets with differing schemas and attempt to
unify the
+ schemas to produce a `UnionDataset`.
+* Arrow `{dplyr}` queries:
+ - are now supported on `RecordBatchReader`. This allows results from DuckDB
+ to be streamed back into Arrow rather than materialized before continuing
the pipeline.
+ - no longer need to materialize the entire result table before writing to a
dataset
+ if the query contains contains aggregations or joins.
+ - now supports `dplyr::rename_with()`.
+ - `dplyr::count()` now returns an ungrouped dataframe.
+* `write_dataset` now has more options for controlling row group and file
sizes when
+ writing partitioned datasets, such as `max_open_files`, `max_rows_per_file`,
+ `min_rows_per_group`, and `max_rows_per_group`.
+* `write_csv_arrow` now accepts a `Dataset` or an Arrow dplyr query.
+* Joining one or more datasets while `option(use_threads = FALSE)` no longer
+ crashes R. That option is set by default on Windows.
+* `dplyr` joins now support the `suffix` argument to handle overlap in column
names.
+* Filtering a Parquet dataset with `is.na()` no longer misses any rows.
+* `map_batches()` no longer errors if passed a `Dataset` object.
+
+## Enhancements to date and time support
+
+* `read_csv_arrow()`'s readr-style type `T` is now mapped to `timestamp(unit =
"ns")`
+ instead of `timestamp(unit = "s")`.
+* For Arrow dplyr queries, added additional `{lubridate}` features and fixes:
+ * New component extraction functions:
+ * `lubridate::tz()` (timezone),
+ * `lubridate::semester()` (semester),
+ * `lubridate::dst()` (daylight savings time indicator),
+ * `lubridate::date()` (extract date),
+ * `lubridate::epiyear()` (epiyear),
+ * `lubridate::month()` now works with integer inputs.
+ * Added `lubridate::make_date()` & `lubridate::make_datetime()` +
+ `lubridate::ISOdatetime()` & `lubridate::ISOdate()` to
+ create date-times from numeric representations.
+ * Added `lubridate::decimal_date()` and `lubridate::date_decimal()`
+ * Added `lubridate::make_difftime()` (duration constructor)
+ * Added `?lubridate::duration` helper functions, such as `dyears()`,
`dhours()`, `dseconds()`.
+ * Added `lubridate::leap_year()`
+ * Added `lubridate::as_date()` and `lubridate::as_datetime()`
+* Also for Arrow dplyr queries, added support for base date and time functions:
+ * Added `base::difftime` and `base::as.difftime()`
+ * Added `base::as.Date()` to convert to date
+ * Arrow timestamp and date arrays now support `base::format()`
+ * `strptime()` now returns `NA` instead of erroring in case of format
mismatch,
+ just like `base::strptime()`.
+* Timezone operations are now supported on Windows if the
+ [tzdb package](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tzdb/index.html) is
also
+ installed.
+
+## Extension Array Support
+
+Custom extension arrays can be created and registered, allowing other packages
to
+define their own array types. Extension arrays wrap regular Arrow array types
and
+provide customized behavior and/or storage. A common use-case for extension
types
Review Comment:
Yeah agreed that combining the sections makes sense.
